The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has chosen the realignment route for KY 146 with the least amount of invasive construction, and work is slated to begin in 2016.

At the end of April, the KYTC held a public meeting at New Castle Elementary School with project managers and engineering firm GRW Inc.

The cabinet has chosen alternate 3 with finalized design plans projected by early 2013.

Not to be outdone, Justin, his younger brother, set nine records this year. That’s 16 records between the brothers.

That begs the question: Are the Mitchell brothers the most accomplished family members in team history? It would be hard to imagine any other siblings having more.

Last week was Feast Week on the ESPN family of networks and I must say I overindulged to a greater extent than usual. If watching a smorgasbord of sports added calories to your diet like Thanksgiving dinner does, I would have gained about 20 pounds.
